Increased Plant Carbon Translocation Linked to Overyielding in Grassland Species Mixtures

TL;DR: It is revealed that short-term plant C translocation can be accelerated in plant individuals of legume and C3 grass species when grown in mixtures, and that this is strongly positively related to overyielding.
Book ChapterDOI

The balance between productivity and food web structure in soil ecosystems.

TL;DR: The use of model Pseudomonas fluorescens populations to study the causes and consequences of microbial diversity and the balance between productivity and food web structure in soil ecosystems is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant ecological solutions to global food security

TL;DR: A series of 10 mini-reviews considers some of the key ways that plant ecologists can help inform and contribute to meeting the challenge of global climate changes and the world population increases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of single trees on spatial and temporal patterns of belowground properties in native pine forest

TL;DR: In this article, a spatial and temporal gradient in nutrient availability and an associated shift in microbial community structure with increasing distance and age of a single tree was found, indicating a strong influence of trees on spatial patterns of microbial biomass and community structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drought soil legacy overrides maternal effects on plant growth

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used soil and seeds from an existing plant diversity and drought manipulation field experiment in temperate grassland to test maternal, soil drought and diversity legacy effects, and their interactions, on offspring plant performance under contrasting glasshouse conditions.
